Thank you, after 40+ years, now I finally understand, and I was always good with science, but nobody ever explained it like you just did. I even looked at many weather websites. Thank you so much, you should be a teacher, because that's what you really are. You just taught me and I've been tring to figure it out for years. Now I have it, thank you.

Nice! Thanks! You say in Florida. Is it the same in other states or areas in county? I’m guessing it is but wondered?

Musty smell from vents occurred w/in about a week in home. HVAC company did not find anything wrong except broken solenoid on whole house humidifier which caused water to continue to drip onto humidifier filter and into drain. However, when I turned the HVAC system & water valve off for 2 days in 85 - 90 degree temps outside (while waiting for HVAC co. to arrive) and returned to home with inside temp of 86 degrees, the smell was less strong. Per your video, this is because less water was in the vents during high outside temps and in house temps while the system was off? Does this mean that now that system is back on and house is cooling to 75 - 76 degrees inside, I should expect a stronger mildew smell to return as the house cools? Or, could the high temps in and outside while the system was off for 2 days have eliminated the humidity in the vents, and if so, should I consider putting on the furnace now in the summer to more drastically raise the temp in the vents to eliminate as much humidity as possible per the info in this video?

Do dehumifers kill mold spores or do they just stop new mold appearing I have mold in my bedroom also are small dehumifers ideal for a small bedroom or should I use medium or large dehumifer also do dehumifers work and are they worth using

We keep getting alerts that our in home humidity is high - we aren't really FEELING it though, which I'm glad for! But comfort isn't my only concern - I worry about air quality as well, and of course mold loves humidity! How can this be prevented/combatted? I'm sure a dehumidifier would do the job, is there anything else we could do instead/in addition?

In the summer in the coastal plains of Texas and especially in my home which sits next to a body of water, I see 65 relative humidity with ac temperatures of 78f. I pull at least 5 gallons of water per day with a portable dehumidifier. It is a constant chore to keep the air at less than 60%RH. I dislike running the dehumidifier because it creates heat and it might as well be like a small window unit in the amount of extra electricity it uses. Humidity is not an issue with my home in Texas. I am beginning to wonder if my ac is at fault.

[Mickimoss]

I just bought small digital hygrometer and I notice my air inside home is quite high like 62 to 68 percent. BUT if I turn on my AC it will go down to like 56-58.

Then I bought a mini showcase fridge and I notice when temp gets lowered, the humidity goes DOWN. Like if it reaches 3-5celcius humidity will be 10%. If it is like 10-13c hunidity will be like 25%. So the colder the air is humidity will go DOWN

But how come 5:03 it goes UP? Im confused

Sir, you are awesome! Wish I could work for you!

Now do the same video/math for Las Vegas Nevada. It’s dry, dusty, house full of particulate matter from dead skin cells to pollen to animal dander. My house was built in 1950. I’m trying to clean the place so wife and I can breath better. Floors are tile or laminate. No carpet anywhere.
